The answer to that is no.
Your board is made for SDR SDRAM.. or just plain old SDRAM

DDR SDRAM or just DDR is not pin compatible with older SDRAM, the RAM has a different slot so it can not fit in the wrong type of system. Even if the RAm could fit in a SDRAM sysem the voltage SDRAM uses would fry the DDR memory right away.

So with that board you can ONLY use SDR SDRAM, PC-66. PC-100. PC-133 (unoffical speeds of PC-150, PC-166 dont think thier is anything faster)

no big loss as ddr ram is wasted on p3's due to the sdr front side bus.

You probabally won't find it in a pc shop, maybe a local shop could order specially but online is the best place to get it.

Canada's a big country, narrow your location down a bit more and I might be able to help you.
